Need Shabbat Plans?

Spend Shabbat with Jews across Western Queens! Our Shabbat Meal Swap gives people a chance to enjoy a Shabbat meal in someone else’s home, or to host others at their own table. Anyone is welcome to host or be hosted. You do not need to be a member or current participant to take part.

Fill out this short form if you’re interested in hosting a Shabbat meal or being hosted for one. It takes 2–3 minutes. Tell us whether you’d like to host or be hosted, and when works for you: specific dates, or “whenever.”

After you fill out the form, we will match you with Shabbat meal partners and put you in touch with each other to find the best date that works for you.
